Those travelling in O, M and Q classes can carry up to 20kg free check-in baggage. Other classes enjoy more baggage allowance. On international flights, economy class passengers are allowed 20kg check-in baggage, while Home class passengers can carry up to 40kg check-in baggage. The cabin baggage restrictions start with 5kg to up to 7kg, depending on the class. Do check your ticket or browse the website for more details.
